Luna instantly thought of Joshua upon the doctor's words.She bit her lip and told herself that it was impossible. Joshua would never…First, she trusted that Joshua was not that cruel. Second, Joshua has never seen Rosalyn before, so how could he—"Luna?" Suddenly, Jim's voice pulled Luna back to reality.She came to her senses. "What is it?"Jim sighed. He turned to look at Rosalyn, whose wounds were being cleaned up by the doctor."Did anyone come in contact with Mom today?"He had been in Banyan City all this while. Bonnie had no experience in caring for children. A few days ago, Joshua's and Luna's children caught a cold, and the doctors said that there might be a possibility of pneumonia.Bonnie called Jim in the middle of the night, crying, and confessing her mistakes. She said she was going to get soaked under the rain until she caught a cold and got pneumonia, that only then would she feel better. Thus, Jim had to hop on a private flight to Banyan City to look for Bonn
Thank goodness they were in Merchant City, the territory of the Landrys and Quinns. If the Landrys and the Quinns were in Banyan City like they used to be, Joshua did not even need a month to bring them down.He was a terrifying man. Without any leverage, no one could control him! "Malcolm." Heather pushed the door open, annoyed. She looked unhappy. "Jim just called, and he asked us to head over to Luna's. Something has happened to Rosalyn."Heather said while rolling her eyes, "How torturing! It's already eleven at night! What could happen to a vegetable like Rosalyn?"Malcolm squinted a little upon hearing Heather's words. "They found out about it quick enough."According to his plan, Luna and the others should only find out about the rotting on Rosalyn's body the next morning.By then, Rosalyn's back would be completely rotten. "What did they find out about?" Heather looked confused."Joshua went over to see Rosalyn today." Malcolm stood up in a good mood. He walked over a
The doctor took up to an hour to clean Rosalyn's wounds.When it was almost done, only then did Malcolm and Heather arrive with another doctor.Malcolm and Heather's clothes were rather unkempt. There was also an obvious hickey on his neck.When the two of them entered, Jim looked at his watch and sneered."More than an hour. The journey from the Quinns to here takes about half an hour, yet you both took more than an hour…" Jim said while he swept them a cold glance.He sneered. "Don't tell me that after taking my call, you two were still doing the bedroom deed?"Heather's expressions turned rather ugly for being exposed to the things that she just did.Malcolm, on the other hand, chuckled a little. He gently hugged Heather and said, "Heather told me that you called, saying that something has happened to Rosalyn. I know that Christopher isn't around, and I'm sure you don't have a doctor at your disposal."Malcolm smiled and pulled the old doctor standing behind them timidly ove
However, Malcolm, at that moment, was blaming her for Rosalyn's rotting back. Did he not say that he trusted her the most? Was his trust so cheap? Malcolm paused a little at Luna's words. He just wanted to confuse Jim, letting Jim think that he completely did not know about Rosalyn's back. He never thought that he would have overdone it when he said those words. After all, he never treated Luna that coldly before."The wound on Mom's back has nothing to do with Luna." Seeing how it was rather awkward between Luna and Malcolm, Jim furrowed his brows and broke the silence."The doctor came to check on her just now. He confirmed that someone else had hurt Mom. Someone used a special medication on her back that could speed up the decaying process of a person in a vegetative state. This is why Mom's back had festered so terribly within less than a day."Then, Jim looked up and glared at Heather with reddened eyes."Luna and Luna's staff would never do this to Mom. We've checked throug
Soon, the surveillance footage was retrieved. Jim played through the footage at the fastest possible speed.It was exactly like Luna said.Because Heather and Charles came to visit that morning, Luna, who usually liked to visit Rosalyn after breakfast, did not step into the side wing.Besides the usual servants that cared for Rosalyn, only Heather had entered her room.Jim played the footage back twice. Then, he sneered and looked at Heather."What else do you have to say for yourself?"Heather panicked a little. She subconsciously looked at Malcolm with panic written in her eyes. She was told that Joshua would appear in the footage, and all she had to do was insist that Joshua was the one who did it, that it had nothing to do with her.Why did Joshua not appear in the surveillance footage? Malcolm squinted a little looking at the playback of the footage. He never would have thought that Joshua would be so meticulous to delete himself from the surveillance footage!Malcolm cl
"If you want to talk about beefs…"Heather looked up and laid her eyes on Gwen, who was next to Luna. "I did have a small altercation with Luna's friend."Gwen instantly frowned upon Heather's words."What do you mean by that? Heather Landry, are you trying to say that I deliberately hurt Luna's mother to frame you?"Gwen harrumphed coldly and said, "If I dislike you, why do I need to hurt others to frame you? I'll just choke you to death!"Gwen knew better than anyone else how important Rosalyn was to Luna, yet Heather was trying to frame her!Looking at Gwen's reaction, Heather could not help but cross her arms at her chest and sneer. "Choke me? You, a nobody? Without Luke Jones' help, you won't even be able to defeat a starving beggar on the streets."Gwen was so infuriated that she gritted her teeth."Stop it!" Right when both women were at a tense stand-off, Malcolm took a deep breath and finally opened his mouth. He pulled Jim over and pointed at the break in the time-lap
The entire room was instantly in silence.Luna looked at the servants in front of her in disbelief. She looked at the servants kneeling on the ground, yet their voices seemed to come from far away."Vivian, say it one more time. Who came here yesterday?"The servant named Vivian lowered her head even more. "J—Joshua Lynch." Vivian bit her lip and toughened herself up. "Every one of us received bribes from Joshua, so no one wanted to admit it, including… Including the security in the surveillance footage room. They received bribes from Joshua to delete the footage of his appearance…"By the time she said that, Vivian's entire body was almost on the ground. She took out a bank card from her pockets, handing it to Luna with both hands."Joshua said that there is a hundred thousand in this card… Every one of us received the same card…"Luna stood on the spot and almost lost her balance.The lights above her became extremely glaring, and her brain hurt as if it was pricked by needl
"You two still refuse to believe that Joshua was the one that hurt Rosalyn?"Jim narrowed his eyes, not saying anything. Luna's head hurt. The words Mickey told her that night appeared in her mind.She closed her eyes as despair washed over her. From the moment she knew that her mother was the main culprit in killing Granny Lynch, she knew that Joshua would never let it go easily.However, she did not expect that he would bribe all the staff in her house while she was gone and do such a cruel thing to her!He was bullying a person in a vegetative state! He should have just stabbed her instead! Jim lowered his and sighed slowly.When she saw them not talking, Heather was extremely smug. She sneered and said, "Thank goodness we found out about Mom early tonight. Otherwise…"Heather's gaze turned sharp and looked at Luna."You'll be the person to blame! Mom had been doing well at Landry Mansion, yet you were the one who insisted you wanted to care for her, sending her to this g
